Interactive 3D Printing projects

Decided to learn how to 3D print stuff during the lockdown and managed to create a few interesting projects such as a fully magnetic Catan board game, an F1 steering wheel that can be combined with Logitech G29 and a lightsaber that can be tracked in VR using Vive Trackers.

Challenges

  • Learning the basics of 3D printing
  • Assembled a 3D printer for the first time and had to troubleshoot issues and replace main board
  • Modified Thingiverse designs to match needs using Tinkercad

Technologies

  • Creality Ender 3 v2
  • Cura 4.8

Project Details

Assembled my first 3D Printer, a Creality Ender 3 v2, upgraded its main board after troubleshooting an issue and printed a few different interactive objects that can be used for entertainment:

  • A fully-magnetic 3D Catan Board game for 5-6 players with a case.
  • A F1 Steering Wheel that can be used with my Logitech G29 PC wheel
  • A dual-sided lightsaber (Darth Maul) that can be used in VR by attaching Vive trackers to its ends.
